Giants' Julian Love: Records multiple career-best marks
Rotowire
Love finished the regular season with 124 tackles (79 solo), one sack, two interceptions, five pass defenses and a forced fumble across 16 games.
Love came into his own as an IDP asset this season, setting career-high marks in stops, INTs and sacks. Not coincidentally, he also tallied the most snaps (955) of his career and mostly maintained good health, sitting out only one game -- he was rested in New York's season finale in order to get a breather before the postseason. Love notched double-digit tackles in four different contests, highlighted by a 14-stop performance against Dallas in Week 3. He'll be a free agent after the campaign, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that the Giants hope to bring him back into the fold following his success this season.

Rotowire
Love recorded 11 tackles (10 solo) across 68 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Love exploded onto the scene Sunday, more than doubling his tackles this season in a single contest. The second year safety also has the most defensive snaps out of the Giants' safety unit. If he continues this high level of play, Love could emerge as a reliable IDP option moving forward.
